The San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday sent out emails to season-ticket holders informing them of their options for the 2020 season. The team notes that it does not yet have definitive details on what the preseason schedule might look like. It also took the opportunity to communicate the approach to ticket sales at Levi's Stadium for this year.
The team acknowledges that Levi's Stadium may not be able to host fans in a "full or limited capacity" during the upcoming season.
"To ensure the health and safety of our season ticket members, players, coaches, staff, and the greater community and to comply with state and local restrictions, we may not be able to host fans in a full or limited capacity this season," read the email. "Given this uncertainty, season ticket members will have two options for payments made for the upcoming season: (1) credit your 2020 payments to the 2021 season; or (2) request a refund. In the event we have limited capacity at Levi's Stadium this season, tickets will be made available on a game-by-game basis at the season ticket rate. Members electing to credit 2020 payments to the 2021 season will receive preferred access to available tickets."
Those electing to receive refunds will see no negative impact on their account seniority or seat location but will not gain preferred access to ticket sales for the upcoming season, should any seats be made available.
The 49ers and NFL as a whole continue to work out the detail of holding a 2020 season. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the league to reevaluate how fans will experience football this year.
Other NFL teams, like the Baltimore Ravens, have already
informed their season-ticket holders of similar options while noting that seating at M&T Bank Stadium will be reduced to a maximum of 14,000 seats per game. That's assuming even that number is permitted under state and local regulations. The situation remains fluid and could change drastically in the weeks and months ahead.
"With ticket demand expected to exceed any availability in 2020, ticket availability is not guaranteed for any member this season,"
the 49ers noted on the team's official website.

49ers insider believes team may prefer WR Brandon Aiyuk play on fifth-year option
The San Francisco 49ers don't always do things like other NFL teams do. But they are consistent, for the most part. Seemingly every offseason, especially in recent years, a star player has wanted a new contract. From TE George Kittle and LB Fred Warner to WR Deebo Samuel and Edge Nick Bosa, the 49ers have given new contracts, but they have waited until late July-early August (and in Bosa's case—September) to do so, much to the chagrin of those players, who wanted their new deal sooner rather than later.
It may not have happened as soon as the players wanted it to, but it has happened. Kittle's contract talks reportedly weren't as smooth as he might have hoped, Samuel famously scrubbed his social media accounts of all things 49ers, and Bosa didn't sign until a few days
